Castle of Horror Podcast

Jon Schnitzer is the director of HAUNTERS: The Art of the Scare,
which presents two competing visions for haunted attractions in
america—the traditional boo-scare style of haunt as seen in the
guise of Shar Meyer, legendary scare actress, and haunt designer
Donald Julson, as opposed to the new “extreme” vision...

Grady Hendrix's new book is a non-fiction chronicle of the boom
in horror paperback publishing in the Seventies and Eighties that
followed in the wake of Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and Thomas
Tryon's The Other. It's called Paperbacks from Hell.

This week we look at the brand new documentary HAUNTERS: The Art
of the Scare directed by Jon Schnitzer, about the growing rift
between people who continue to put on traditional "boo-scare"
haunted attractions and newer "extreme" experiences."

We discuss the strange third film in the Halloween series, this
time a non-slasher Halloween story about an evil warlock
industrialist out to use technology, witchcraft and Halloween masks
to conduct a massive human sacrifice.

Michael Okon is the author of the new book MONSTERLAND from
Wordfire Press, about a theme park called "the scariest place on
Earth." With real werewolves, vampires and zombies as the main
attractions, what could possibly go wrong?
